Question

The product of 5 and a number x is 14 .What is the value of x?

x=194
x=120
x=54
x=434

Answer 1

`x=(14)/(5)`

Explanation:

The product of 5 and a number x is 14

Product means the multiplication, multiply the number 5 and x becomes 5x

5x is 14. 5x is equal to 14

The equation becomes
`5x=14`

Now we divide 5 on both sides to get 'x' alone

`5x=14`

`(5x)/(5) =(14)/(5)`

`x=(14)/(5)`

So the value of x is 14/5

Answer 2

From the given statement, we can formulate the given expression or equation:

5 x = 14

To solve, simply divide both sides by 5, so that:

5 x / 5 = 14 / 5

x = 2.8
